These Carbs Don't Count

These Fried Mac & Cheese Balls are a crispy, cheesy celebration of comfort food perfection. Using cold leftover mac and cheese as the base, each ball is stuffed with gooey mozzarella, double-coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried until golden brown. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, a sprinkle of Parmesan, and fresh basil for the ultimate indulgent bite.

Scoop a handful of cold mac and cheese and flatten it in your hand.
2

Place a small mozzarella ball in the center and shape the mac and cheese around it to form a sealed ball.
